Ganfeng led more than a hundred Flying Bear Army, flying across the earth like a strong wind. Although the Flying Bear Army did not wear heavy armor this time, compared with ordinary light cavalry, the Flying Bear Army was still elite.
The elite among them. Behind these people were three thousand cavalry, rumbling forward.
A three-color flag representing General Zhengxi was flying high at the front of the queue.
In Cheng Gongying's camp to the north, a huge horn horn suddenly broke the tranquility of the night. The desolate and rapid horn sound resounded through the night sky, as if a piece of water was suddenly dropped on the quiet lake.
Like a huge boulder, Cheng Gongying's originally quiet camp suddenly boiled like a pot exploding.
To the south of the camp, within sight, many people, including Cheng Gongying, saw such a surging cavalry formation, like a tide, carrying an earth-shattering roar, overwhelming the earth.
Come rushing.
Cheng Gongying stood outside the tent, his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He didn't understand what was going on, and he couldn't figure out why there was no one on Fanxu Road. The scouts also detected the traces leading to Jitou Road, and then
He led the team to Jitou Road quickly, but why did Zhengxi's team appear in the south again?
Cheng Gongying stood stunned for a while, then suddenly woke up and howled: "Blow the trumpet! Assemble... assemble... get on your horse and stop them..."
Because Cheng Gongying was on his way, there was no special defense system originally set up, and the cavalry camp occupied a large area. The main purpose was to ensure the smooth flow of cavalry, and there was no such thing as a horse barrier in the camp.
Things, if you want to resist Zhengxi's cavalry, you can only rely on cavalry. Otherwise, when Zhengxi blocks the camp, the cavalry who can't run will be like meat on the chopping board.
Under Cheng Gongying's order, the soldiers hurriedly mounted their horses, but some found that although they were already on horseback, their hands were empty and they did not bring weapons or swords.
Only a Gebu robe was fluttering in the wind, and more soldiers had not had time to react, and were confused and at a loss.
When ordinary people encounter a sudden emergency, most of their hands and feet will be numb, let alone Cheng Gongying's soldiers who have not undergone any emergency assembly training at all.
It took less than a quarter of an hour from the time when Cheng Gongying's patrolling soldiers blew the alarm horn to the time when the Zhengxi cavalry army attacking the camp burst out of the darkness and appeared in view. At this time, Zheng Gongying's cavalry had already approached Cheng Gongying's camp.
The camp was less than 500 paces away, and the soldiers in Cheng Gongying's camp in the Inner Mongolia Circle had not yet assembled a decent array, let alone a combat stop.
Cheng Gongying kept shouting and waving his arms like a madman, trying to restore order before General Zhengxi's cavalry arrived, but with little success. All the soldiers looked at the approaching Zhengxi cavalry, and their hands and feet became weak.
They became more and more panicked, and some even made the stupid mistake of climbing on the horse only to fall off the other side.
The three-color flag is getting closer and closer, and is getting bigger and bigger. And a little behind the three-color flag, a black bear flag with a plain rib and two wings is staring up at the sky with its blood-red eyes in the night.
roar.
The passionate sound of horns resounded through the night sky.
Every soldier of the Zhengxi Cavalry was speeding up, gripping their swords tightly, and staring at Cheng Gongying's camp, like hungry wild beasts that saw weak prey.
The cavalry in Cheng Gongying's camp were running around in a panic, but some of the veterans had already jumped on their horses and silently turned away from the front line. At this time, since there was no queue to compete, they could only sacrifice themselves.
Those panicked soldiers came to absorb the destructive power of the Western Expedition Cavalry.
Most of the Xiliang cavalry grew up in the war between the Qiang people and the Han people. Especially the veterans, their intuition for the battlefield is quite keen. Therefore, when these veterans saw the current situation, they naturally mounted their horses and retreated without saying hello.
, as for those ignorant recruits who have not been in many battle formations, they cannot be woken up even if they are greeted a hundred times.
After a period of chaos, Cheng Gongying finally summoned guards when the Zhengxi cavalry rushed to the camp, assembled a group of cavalry on the left rear wing of the camp, and erected a large banner.
Assembling means gathering a group of people, but what to do now?
The Zhengxi Cavalry launched an attack from the south of the camp, so Cheng Gongying immediately asked the troops stationed in the south of the camp to assemble, deploy defenses, and counterattack. In any case, he used all means to block the Zhengxi Cavalry's attack and delay the reduction of the Zhengxi Cavalry.
speed.
But it was obvious that the panicked soldiers could not obey the command at all.
According to Cheng Gongying's analysis, the fact that the cavalry from the Zhengxi expedition came so quickly means that the cavalry from the Zhengxi expedition did not make much preparations on the road. This also means that the Zhengxi cavalry has limited manpower and physical strength of the horses. If it can be organized,
The troops continued to block, killing and injuring the Zhengxi Cavalry, and finally slowed down the Zhengxi Cavalry. The final victory still belonged to Cheng Gongying.
But the premise is that the powerful wave of Zhengxi Cavalry can be blocked at the moment...
Another option is to abandon some of the soldiers who were attacked by Zhengxi, and then retreat with the soldiers in an orderly manner, preserving as much strength as possible, because no matter what, winning or losing is a trivial matter, strength is the key, even in a battle
If you win but deplete your team, then you still lose in the end?
Moreover, if Zheng Xi rushes over so quickly, the war horses will definitely not be able to support a long-term galloping chase. Therefore, as long as Zheng Xi really wants to run, he may not be able to catch up. But the problem is that once he retreats, he wants to gather his troops again.
It is not that easy to regain morale and go back to fight again, and the original plan to block the reinforcements from the expedition to the west means a complete failure...
So, fight or retreat?
Even at night, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Cheng Gongying's head, glistening in the light of the fire.
"Yohuha..."
Gan Feng suddenly stood up straight from his horse, shouting wildly regardless of the risk of being hit by an arrow.
The more than a hundred Flying Bear Army seemed to have become accustomed to Gan Feng's state of going crazy at the sight of battle. They couldn't help but laugh, and then shouted loudly together:
"Yohuha..."
The horses' hooves were flying and the ground was shaking.
"Yohuha..."
Although I don’t understand what the Flying Bear Army in front means by shouting like this, since the Flying Bear Army joined the Zhengxi Cavalry, these soldiers in the north also know it to a certain extent and admire the bravery of these Xiliang warriors. Therefore,
After the Flying Bear Army shouted, the Bingbei Rangers who followed behind also raised their swords and guns and shouted wildly!
Strange to say, even though it was a syllable with no specific meaning, after shouting wildly while pulling his neck, the blood all over his body seemed to boil, inspiring tens of millions of heroic spirit and intense murderous intent.
"Yohuha..."
The uniform sound of business exploded in the night sky, rolling like muffled thunder and spreading in all directions.
For a moment, a strong murderous aura overflowed, which shocked the already panicked soldiers in Cheng Gongying's camp. Their legs and feet were a little weak, and there seemed to be a sky full of blood and killings in front of their eyes.
"boom……"
Gan Feng was the first to mention the war horse. The horse leaped high, jumped over the fence, and rushed into the camp.
The Flying Bear Army behind him also shouted and kicked down the originally not very high fence almost at the same time, pouring into Cheng Gongying's camp like a flood from the breach.
The soldiers who did not have time to escape were either killed immediately, or they bumped into the horses and were immediately knocked into the air and thrown aside, or they were caught up by the cavalry while escaping, and they had no time to chop them with their swords.
Just trample them with horses!
Cheng Gongying's face was very ugly, and he was also very nervous. Although he summoned some cavalry troops, he saw the Zhengxi cavalry rushing into the camp like a flood that broke the embankment, killing all the soldiers in the camp invincibly.
, the ghosts cried and the wolves howled, the army was defeated, and the muscles on the face could not help but twitch.
Especially when I saw that the soldiers on my side were all running away desperately, without even the courage to stand up and resist. They all just wanted to escape and fled with their heads in their hands.
!
Gan Feng saw the banner set up by Cheng Gongying and chopped down one of Cheng Gongying's soldiers in front of him. He pointed with his sword and roared: "Kill! The banner is over there. Follow me and kill him..."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the Flying Bear Army shouted, with high fighting spirit.
Cheng Gongying suddenly felt a little scared.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Zhengxi Cavalry rushed into the camp, showing no sign of any weakening in strength. On the contrary, their side was defeated so quickly that they had no power to fight back.
It's too fast, it's too fast, it's too fast.
There was not much time to react. General Zhengxi's cavalry rushed into the camp with a roar. Especially the leading part of the Flying Bear Army was extremely tough. No wonder they were called Flying Bears. It was a mistake.
The name is not the wrong nickname...
Take another look at the soldiers on your side. Although they are barely in formation, the original organization is basically in chaos now. They are just generally gathered together. Some soldiers do not have armor or even weapons.
What's even more outrageous is that Cheng Gongying actually saw a cavalryman holding only a bow and nothing else, no swords, guns, and arrows. Is this the rhythm of holding a bow and drawing it directly...
General Zhengxi's cavalry were still killing and running wildly without restraint.
"General, withdraw..." Army Sima said next to Cheng Gongying, "If we don't withdraw, we won't be able to withdraw..."
Cheng Gongying looked at the Zhengxi cavalry getting closer and closer, looked at the three-color battle flag flying in the moonlight, and saw his soldiers being driven and slaughtered wantonly. He finally made up his mind and raised his sword high.
But he hung down weakly: "...withdraw, withdraw!"
…………………………
The news of Cheng Gongying's defeat could not reach Han Sui for the time being, but Han Sui had already received the news that Ma Chao and the Di people were fighting in the Xiabian market.
Well, to be precise, it was Ma Chao who killed and wounded the Di people who were going to the market, and then stole the horses. The Di people, Wang Hu, sent people to question him.
"Is this true?" Han Sui called Ma Chao and asked.
Ma Chao nodded, without any excuses, he admitted directly and told the situation at that time: "...Uncle and nephew are really intolerable. After all, it is Brother Dai's horse..."
Although the area of Longyou and Xiliang is unstable, there are still people after all. Whether they are nomadic people or settled Han people, they all have more or less needs for commodity exchange. It cannot be said that all the necessities of life are
You do everything yourself, even use charcoal, break a jar and bake it yourself?
So after all, there are some gatherings and some rules. And Ma Chao hurt people and snatched horses at the gathering. Even though it was indeed Ma Dai's horse, it still doesn't make sense. If people can do whatever they want at the gathering, then how can people still go to gatherings in the future?
, once there is no gathering, where can you buy something if you need it?
"You said you...well, you sent someone to talk about it, it has to be like this...No matter what, you can't do it directly...If you don't understand, you can explain it slowly. It's not like there aren't people in the market who understand Di dialect.
, there is no way to just chop with a knife if you can't explain clearly..." Han Sui pointed at Ma Chao and said, "Alas, I know that you are also very sad about the death of nephew Dai Xian, but the rules are still the rules, and it is us who do it after all.
There's something a little troubling... Well, let's go down to Bian Di Wang's village and apologize in person, and that's it... We have been friends with Di Ren Wang for many years and won't deliberately embarrass you..."
Ma Chao was silent for a moment, nodded, responded, brought some gifts in return, and followed the Di people's envoy to the Bian Di people's stronghold. In fact, as soon as Ma Chao came back and became angry, he knew that he had done something wrong.
Yes. The horse is indeed Ma Dai's horse, but it doesn't require any action. Just like what Han Sui said, send someone to contact him, and just be polite first and then fight.
Of course, Ma Chao had just caught the fire at that time. How can a person have so much sense when he is angry? If he had still had sense to analyze at that time, he would not have taken action.
It's not far to go to the Di Ren Village. It only takes half a day to get there and back with a fast horse. As expected, Wang Hu of the Di Ren didn't make things difficult for Ma Chao. This thought, miscellaneous soldiers and minions are not worth a few dollars at all. They are dead.
That is to say, he is dead. What matters is the leader's face. Since Han Sui and Ma Chao expressed an attitude, the Di man Wang Yu naturally brushed the matter over with a smile.
However, Wang Hu of the Di people wiped the matter away, but Ma Chao did not. After returning, he went directly to Han Sui's tent to pay homage. The first thing he said when he met Han Sui was: "Uncle, my nephew saw Han Sui in the Di people's camp."
There are many war horses, and these war horses... were originally ours..."
