On the battlefield, life and death always only last for a moment.
Xu Huang hid behind the shield and observed the battlefield through a gap in front of him. He saw that the large cavalry troops were still at the rear of the battlefield. Many people and horses still did not make any move and had no intention of rushing forward. They were just waiting for the passage to open.
At that moment, everyone has a plan, but no one can fully understand the opponent's plan. Information on the battlefield is constantly changing. Often at this time, not only careful preparation and analysis are needed, but also the ability to respond flexibly.
Xu Huang stayed here. He not only had to ensure that Ma Chao and others were held back so that the others had enough time to block the crossing, but he also had to implement the follow-up plan...
"Throw fire!" Xu Huang shouted loudly.
Immediately, soldiers threw their torches high, drawing arcs in the air, and landed on the ground in front of the camp, illuminating the surrounding area and illuminating the group of Qiang people who were charging forward madly.
When he saw the swaying sound and shadow of the Qiang people crossing the white stones as signs, Xu Huang suddenly shouted: "Eighty steps in front of the camp! Strong wind!"
The commander of the Shesheng camp behind the camp wall immediately repeated loudly: "Eighty steps in front of the camp! Strong wind!"
"fall!"
Amidst the clattering sound, the swordsmen and shieldmen in the military formation tilted their shields to the side at the same time, and then put them away, revealing the archers below.
"Gale! Gale! Gale!"
The archer opened his bow and according to the predetermined scale, shot three consecutive shots through the village wall!
"vertical!"
The swordsmen and shieldmen raised their shields in unison, covering the heads of the archers on the side, and then formed a shield wall to block the sporadic arrows that entered the camp...
The arrows roared and pierced diagonally from the dark night sky!
At this time, the Qiang people who were sprinting ahead did not care to dodge. Moreover, in such an environment, there were no traces of arrows in the air at all. They could only pray for the protection of the Immortal Sky...
"puff!"
A Qiang man who rushed forward was hit by an arrow directly from the top of his head. The arrowhead came out directly from the other side with bone residue, brain matter, blood, and a few hairs!
The Qiang man died immediately, but his legs still took half a step forward according to the inertia, and then fell to the ground with a thud...
Different from the arrows used by the Qiang people, General Zhengxi costs money. Well, Fei Qian's arrows are made of fine iron. They are quite expensive in terms of lethality and cost. Therefore, the Qiang people because the arrows are too light
The disadvantage of being unable to projectile is not a problem at all in Zhengxi. As long as it is hit by the projectile, it will still have a strong killing effect.
After three rapid rounds of shooting, the Qiang skirmish line of about 200 people, which surged in like waves, suddenly seemed to be photographed on the flood control embankment, and was sorted out by the scattered cement piles, leaving only more than a hundred people.
!
The Qiang people didn't care and ran forward desperately!
"Sixty steps in front of the camp! Strong wind!" Xu Huang yelled again.
The Sheshengjunhou responded repeatedly, and then there were three new rounds of projectiles!
"Forty steps in front of the camp! Strong wind!" Xu Huang yelled again.
Three rounds of ejection again.
"Ahhhhh..."
A Qiang man waved his sword crazily above his head, trying to knock away the arrows shot from the dark sky. He didn't know if this action was really effective, or if it was the blessing of the Immortal God. When he
The alveoli of his lungs could not support the massive demand for oxygen. When he slowly stopped and panted violently, the Qiang talent suddenly discovered that the other Qiang people who had rushed over with him were already lying in a mess.
He fell to the ground, leaving him standing alone in front of the camp gate...
"Definitely..." When the hot blood subsided, the Qiang talent felt intense fear from his feet to his head. Looking at the dark camp like a ferocious beast, he felt as if he had fallen into the ice instantly.
It was like a cave, and I couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Whoosh -" An arrow came out of the night, carrying light, shadow and the breath of blood and fire, and penetrated into the Qiang man's chest.
The Qiang man exhaled a long breath, as if he was relieved, and seemed to be free. His legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground. Then he pounced forward, and fell to the ground as if being pulled down by a ghost underground.
in the darkness.
When the Qiang people who were following the charging queue to clear the road saw this, they stood stunned for a moment, and then scattered in all directions with a bang. They did not dare to gather together, did not dare to retreat, and did not dare to go forward. They just grinded.
Wandering in circles...
I don't know whether it was due to the lack of light at night or the dancing light and shadow of the torch. The shadows on Ma Chao's face were like those of a dancing beast, with nothing but livid color at all.
There are only three hundred archers in this camp, they need to be at least doubled!
Even more, eight hundred to one thousand is possible!
"Send another team! Bring shields!" Ma Chao ordered through gritted teeth, "Fill the road quickly! Otherwise, more people will die!"
After Ma Chao finished speaking, he called Ma Tie again and whispered something in a low voice. Ma Tie nodded, turned and left.
This time the Qiang people learned their lesson and no longer acted recklessly, nor did they dare to charge randomly. They just held up their shields in front of the Qiang people who were filling in the soil and clearing the road and moved forward. Although some unlucky guys were shot in the exposed legs or feet.
From somewhere, screams could be heard from time to time, but it was much better than the previous state where there was no protection at all. At least the battle line did not collapse.
"Shesheng camp, the rear ranks withdraw!" Xu Huang saw that the bow and arrow cover could not take much advantage, so he ordered the archers to withdraw one after another, then turned around and descended from the crenel, and said to the guards, "Get some heavy armor...
"
"Captain!" Xu Yu took a step forward and said, "It's better to stay behind..."
Xu Huang patted Xu Yu on the shoulder and said: "The camp's commander can only keep the morale of the army stable after the commander is cut off. Lead the team across the river quickly. If there is anyone who scrambles and disrupts the order, behead him!"
"Wei!" Xu Yu had no choice but to follow the order and leave.
At this moment, more than a dozen nooses were thrown out of the dark night, and they accurately landed on the wooden pillars of the wall on the side of the camp, and were quickly tightened. With the sound of trumpets, the wooden pillars began to bear force.
The force leans outward!
"Cut the rope!"
The defensive soldiers at the crenellation shouted loudly, and then tried their best to slash at the noose with their swords, but were knocked to the ground by a burst of arrows flying in from outside the camp.
Although the soldiers who rushed up to the crenellation later cut off a few lassoes with all their strength, more and more lassoes were thrown up, pulling on the walls of the camp and the walls began to shake slightly...
Xu Huang, who was putting on his armor, couldn't help but shrink his eyes sharply.
Ma Chao finally found the biggest weakness of this camp.
Due to geographical factors, the foundation of the camp built on the riverside is relatively loose, and it cannot be as stable as the camps in other areas. In addition, time was short, and there were not many large stones to hold down the wall.
Heels, so once it is pulled hard, it is easy to loosen the foundation...
"Shesheng camp, retreat! Move forward with swords, shields, and spears to cover!" Xu Huang, who was wearing heavy armor, moved his hands and feet. He felt that there was no obstacle, so he picked up the battle ax handed over by the guard and shouted, "Listen
A certain order, retreat to Watergate!"
The shield-hands held the shield and the ring knife tightly, and the spearmen held the spears tightly with both hands, and lined up behind Xu Huang. The archers gathered their longbows and quivers, and quickly passed around both sides of the array.
, and ran towards the water gate.
The evacuation of people in the camp and the weakening of counterattacks intensified the arrogance of Ma Chao, Ma Tie and others. Not only did the Qiang people near the camp gate speed up their movements, but even the chants of pulling on the camp wall became more orderly and louder.
…
"Boom!" Accompanied by the squeaking and tooth-piercing sound of wooden stretching and twisting, five or six wooden piles in the wall near the tidal flat were pulled and overturned, causing a large area of the wall to tilt.
A huge gap suddenly appeared!
Xu Huang's eyes narrowed and he shouted in a deep voice: "Hold on! Someone is here! Beat the drum! Get ready to fight!"
"Dong! Dongdong! Dongdongdong!" The low sound of war drums came like water waves, stirring in the ears of the swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen, soothing their some uneasiness and anxiety.
The Qiang people poured in chaotically through the gap, shouting and shouting in confusion. A group of people went around from the side and unbolted the gate of the village, and a group of people rushed towards the array of Xu Huang and others at the water gate!
The Qiang people rushed to Xu Huang's formation. Looking at the neat and orderly formation, they subconsciously stopped more than ten steps away. They crowded together in a chaotic manner and confronted Xu Huang and others. The distance between the two sides was so huge.
So close, even with the flickering firelight, you can clearly see the fierce eyes of the other party...
More and more Qiang people began to push each other and poured into the camp.
Xu Huang held the battle ax and made a slow blow in the air, then stretched out his iron-gloved palm, turned it upward, waved to the Qiang people, and roared from behind his mask: "Come fight!
"
The sword and shield bearers and spearmen behind Xu Huang couldn't help but feel their blood boiling, and they shouted in unison: "Fight! Let's fight!"
The Qiang line couldn't help but subconsciously shrink back. Immediately, a Qiang man in the front row was stimulated by Xu Huang and others. Blood rushed to his head. He roared wildly and raised his knife to chop Xu Huang!
With one person taking the lead, the other Qiang people subconsciously shouted and ran forward, shouting chaotically: "Kill!"
Xu Huang looked at the oncoming Qiang people, unmoved. It was not until the first Qiang people were approaching that he suddenly swung his tomahawk diagonally from bottom to top!
The huge tomahawk blade drew a shining arc in the air with a "buzzing" sound. Just when it seemed to be about to escape Xu Huang's control, Xu Huang's wrist turned and twisted slightly, and the tomahawk seemed to have become spiritual.
He turned over lightly in the air, and then slashed down diagonally at a faster speed!
The Qiang man who rushed at the front paused, with an indescribable look on his face. The next moment, his body looked like a tomato omelette that had been suddenly cut open, or a piece of rice that had been accidentally cut open while hanging in the air.
After the enema, the whole person split diagonally into two halves. The organs and blood in the chest and abdomen rushed out happily to breathe the freshest air. If you look carefully, you can still see half of the heart hanging on the ribs of the chest.
When tightening, squeeze out the last injection of blood...
"kill!"
Xu Huangduan shouted, holding the ax in both hands, sweeping left and right. The battle ax was like a bloodthirsty beast, always hungry for flesh and blood, killing three people in an instant, and then he turned around and knocked down two more!
Several Qiang people knew that Xu Huang was powerful and wanted to retreat, but were blocked by the people coming from behind. They could not retreat. They could only scream like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and raised their swords and guns in unison.
Cut and stab Xu Huang!
Xu Huang swung his battle ax and easily cut off the two spears that were pierced by him, and then slashed the shield of a Qiang man who was facing him with one ax!
With the sound of "click", sawdust from the shield flew everywhere. Even if it was reinforced with iron bars, it could not withstand Xu Huang's powerful and heavy battle ax, and it suddenly cracked from the middle. The Qiang man had no time to let go, and his forearm was twisted into an obtuse angle.
As he screamed, he squatted down and fell to the ground.
Before he could struggle to get up, several big feet, either barefoot, wearing straw sandals, or wearing broken boots, stepped on him one after another! This Qiang man with a broken hand could not escape at all.
The soil beside the Shangshui Gate was not very solid. After struggling for a few times, someone stepped on it alive.
Before Xu Huang had time to take back his battle ax, a Qiang man took a step forward, ignored the sword coming from the guards beside Xu Huang, and went crazy with the sword and slashed at Xu Huang's chest and abdomen!
"clang!"
Hit!
The joy that just surged from the bottom of my heart was instantly replaced by a blanket of ice.
The Qiang people were surprised to see that their sword only splashed little sparks on the surface of Xu Huang's armor, and then bounced off the tough armor iron pieces. The cut hit, but it did not cause any damage to Xu Huang...
…
Xu Huang didn't even look at the Qiang man. He just retracted the battle ax and swung it horizontally with his left forearm to knock it away. The iron pieces on the armored gauntlets were like iron brushes, directly from the Qiang people.
Strips of skin and flesh were torn off people's faces, and the Qiang people's cheeks were suddenly ripped open and bloody!
Before the Qiang man had time to cover his face and scream, he was slashed to the ground by the guards beside Xu Huang. With the cooperation of spears and swords and shields, several guards rushed in front of Xu Huang and protected Xu Huang behind the shield wall.
, so that Xu Huang can take a breath.
Xu Huang took a few steps back, put his battle ax on the ground, took a long breath, and observed the battlefield. Because of the narrow sight of the mask, he had to turn his head to see the entire battlefield clearly...
The gate of the village has been opened by the Qiang people, but Ma Chao's cavalry has not come in yet because the horse trap in front of the gate has not yet been completely cleared...
The Qiang people who were pouring into the camp were forced to be divided into several areas because of the Juma and baggage vehicles that were connected together in the camp, and they were crowding towards Shuimen...
The last group of archers have already boarded the ship, and the ship begins to slide along the rope to the other side. It will take about a quarter of an hour for the next ship to dock...
Hold on for another quarter of an hour!
"retreat!"
Xu Huang gave a loud shout, and then patted the guard in front of him on the shoulder. The guard knew how to push forward with a shield or a sword, and then quickly moved the sides apart and retreated behind Xu Huang to make room for Xu Huang.
.
"kill!"
The battle ax hit the ground with a "buzzing" sound, and flew up into the air with two calves, one thigh, two or three scattered arms, some spear heads and half battle knives, and then followed by Xu Huang's small-scale attack
Turning around, stepping forward and twisting his waist, the battle ax circled around like lightning and whizzed down, splitting the heads, chests and abdomens of the five or six Qiang people who were crowded forward in the half circle, and blood spurted out like a sudden eruption of a volcano.
!
The extremely tough Xu Huang was so frightened that the Qiang people in the front row suddenly shrank back. They would rather hit the swords and guns of the people behind them than face Xu Huang's battle axe!
The battlefield suddenly became emptier.
Xu Huang was about to invite the battle again, but his heart skipped a beat, and with a twist of his wrist, he immediately covered the face of the battle ax in front of him.
"clang!"
A bow and arrow came screaming, slammed into the axe, and was blown away with a burst of fire! The force was so strong that Xu Huang's hand couldn't help but tremble.
Xu Huang looked through the mask and saw a man sitting on a horse at the gate of the camp, holding a long bow. It was Ma Chao!
