Ma Chao led the troops away, but Pang De stayed with Han Sui. After the first wave of Qiang cavalry offensive ended, it was naturally his turn.
However, General Fei Qian's front was more tenacious than Pound had imagined, or in other words, stronger and more tenacious than everyone on Han Sui's side had imagined.
The Qiang people left corpses all over the ground, and now, the queue following Pang De in the attack is gradually being depleted in front of the Zhengxiyingzhai formation, and is constantly decreasing...
The long-handled sword used by Pang De had some gaps, and blood was dripping all over his body.
This is the third time he has withdrawn.
There is red everywhere in front of me.
Blood-red soldiers from both sides, blood-red horse-repelling wooden stakes, blood-red soil, and then he saw his own soldiers charging forward with various weapons.
He saw a soldier being hit by a roaring crossbow arrow, and his running body suddenly flew across the air;
He saw a soldier whose hands were cut off by a bloody sword, and he was wailing and screaming in pain on the ground;
He saw a soldier whose body was pierced by a spear and fell on his back, with blood shooting out from his chest like a fountain;
He saw a soldier rushing forward bravely, and then he chopped more than a dozen times in one breath, cutting down an acquaintance in the Zhengxi formation. However, he was nailed to the ground by a spear thrust from one side. Before he died,
This soldier also chopped down the Zhengxi soldier who stabbed him to death...
A head drew a dark red arc in the sky, passed over Juma, and passed over the corpses on the ground. It rotated and jumped among the arrows flying all over the sky, and landed in front of Pound's eyes with blood drops.
, and then rolled to his feet.
Pound hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked it up.
This is the head of a Qiang man, who is also a subordinate of Pound. He has a big curly beard on his face. He had drank wine and raced horses with Pound before, but now he can only open his mouth full of blood.
The mouth seems to be still screaming...
A shrill scream suddenly sounded around him, piercing into Pang De's ears!
Pound was startled and threw his head away in a hurry, only to find that the sound was not coming from the head in his hand, but from a guard beside him.
The guard's body fell heavily next to Pound, and the arrow poured into his chest came out. The blood quickly smeared on Pound's instep, and also soaked in the Qiang man's head.
This is one of his personal guards, a guard who has been with him for three years. He is very brave. He once led more than ten soldiers to kill nearly a hundred horse thieves, but today he died and was conquered by the West.
He was hit by an arrow and died in front of him.
Pang De watched silently, expressionless.
This is war.
There is neither sorrow nor hatred, only a life-and-death war.
The Qiang man's head was lying on the ground at the wound of the guard, and his open mouth seemed to be swallowing the hot blood...
"Whizzing!"
"Spread out!" Pound shouted.
Another wave of arrows came, and immediately several more of his soldiers were shot to the ground by arrows and crossbow bolts.
Pound didn't understand why Zhengxi Feiqian had so many arrows and crossbows in reserve?
I wonder if General Fei Qian had already prepared these weapons and supplies when he came to Xiliang from Hanzhong?
"Pang Junhou! Withdraw, withdraw, there are almost no more of our people in front, they are all dead, all dead..." A team leader dragged a wounded leg and withdrew from the front line, crying sadly to Pang De
shouted.
Because of the carrying capacity, the Qiang people's arrows on their side were not as dense as before. This resulted in the archers who conquered Xifeiqian not being greatly suppressed and could shoot calmly.
"Hurry up, Pang Junhou, retreat..." The team leader couldn't hold himself up and fell in front of Pang De. He raised his head and said, "The people who died are all members of our Ma family... Leave some bones and blood...
"
"You are injured, go down first..." Pound was silent for a moment, waved his hand and said, "The general has not yet awarded the gold medal. Even if I die in this battle, I cannot retreat!"
After that, he grabbed a shield, shouted, and rushed up!
"Kill!" Pound roared, kicking away the spear thrust from the side by the Zhengxi soldiers, and then stabbed him with his backhand. He immediately stood up his shield in front of him, blocking several arrows that were shot, and then he struggled forward.
Another person was killed.
At this moment, a horse in front of Pound was not strong before, or it was loose after being hit by the Qiang cavalry. A dead Zhengxi soldier fell on the horse and became a
The final straw for Juma was that the Juma wooden stake rolled and hit Pound with several corpses!
Pang De couldn't dodge in time, and only had time to raise his shield. He heard a "boom" sound, and the heavy Juma wooden stake hit the shield. His whole body flew into the air, and hit the ground hard, and the back of his head hit the ground.
, and suddenly felt dizzy.
"Pang Junhou!"
The two guards shouted, rushed forward, pushed away the wooden stake that was pressing on Pound, and after talking, they dragged him out with all hands and feet. One of them held Pound's head, and the other clamped Pound's head.
With two legs, he turned around and ran down, regardless of the arrows whizzing in the sky behind him...
In the groggy state, Pang De saw the increasingly gloomy sky, which seemed to have absorbed the blood on the ground and turned extremely dark red. The layers of clouds looked like all kinds of twisted things on the ground.
The corpses were constantly piling up, like mountains, while he was in the abyss of hell, with countless soldiers fighting, tearing, and falling in the clouds, falling in various postures, falling to the end.
In the endless darkness.
…………………………
The war horse galloped in the wilderness, and the warm spittle splashed in the wind. Gan Feng was riding on the horse, and he could feel the powerful trembling of every muscle of the war horse under his crotch.
The men from Mengjiazhai had already been dispatched, and Gan Feng had to rush back as quickly as possible to tell Jia Xu the news so that they could cooperate with each other.
Perhaps it was the killing of a group of scouts that aroused the vigilance of the Xiliang tribes, or perhaps the Xiliang tribes Zhenghai was about to make some move. When he was about to enter the Tianshui County, he ran into a group of Xiliang soldiers heading towards Qishan.
Cool Cavalry.
Because they were on the march, the formation of Xiliang cavalry was very long. When Gan Feng and his small group rushed down from the grassy slope, many Xiliang cavalry were still in a daze and could not react.
It's not that Gan Feng is hot-headed and seeking death, but that what his small force originally competes for is the time difference. If they hide in the mountains and fields, they may be able to avoid the Xiliang cavalry's scout detection, but they have to wait until the Xiliang cavalry is fully
After passing it and coming out again, who knows how long it will take?
Therefore, it is better to cut through the flank of the Xiliang cavalry array and return to Jia Xu before the Xiliang cavalry has discovered it!
Coupled with the cavalry formation in front of him, which was a mixture of Qiang and Han people, in Gan Feng's eyes, it was full of flaws. The formation was extremely chaotic, and the flanks were extremely long. It may not be possible to assemble and respond quickly when encountering a surprise attack!
After panicking, someone among the Xiliang cavalry finally reacted and blew the warning horn.
The war horses are galloping!
Gan Feng felt the tremors of the ground with every step of the war horse, and saw the panic look in the northwest of Xiliang in front of him. He suddenly burst out laughing: "Your crazy grandpa is here! Get out of here!"
The horse jumped violently, its hooves flew into the air, carrying the sweet wind, like falling from the sky, and crashed directly into the flank formation of the Xiliang cavalry!
In the blink of an eye, several Xiliang cavalrymen facing Gan Feng fell off their horses amidst the sound of several consecutive armor-breaking and bone-breaking sounds before they had time to react!
This sound of breaking armor and cracking bones is familiar to almost everyone who has been in battle, because this sound actually represents death, just like what can often be heard in slaughterhouses.
For Gan Feng, this sound was like an exciting symphony, but for the Xiliang cavalry who was killed, the harsh friction, collision, and sound of the metal breaking through the flesh and blood of the armor were so exciting.
It's chilling.
The screams of people, accompanied by the neighing of war horses, suddenly spread a gradually thickening smell of blood...
Gan Feng took the lead and ran directly into the flank of the Xiliang cavalry queue. He spread his horse spear in his hand and stabbed or smashed it. In the blink of an eye, he knocked three Xiliang cavalry off their horses. Then he drew his sword with his left hand.
Before the Qiang cavalry passing by could block it, the main artery on the side of the neck was suddenly severed, and blood spurted out, splashing on Gan Feng's face, and his entire body was covered in blood!
Behind Gan Feng, twenty flying bear troops followed the collision formation and entered!
The Xiliang cavalry's marching array was long and thin, and suddenly a group of people fell on their backs!
But after all, these Xiliang cavalry have also experienced a lot of battles. Although the incident happened suddenly, more than ten cavalry fell down as if they were swept by the strong wind, and their horses burst into reins and ran wildly, but the Xiliang cavalry in front and behind were all there.
Try your best to roll towards the middle, and you will surround Ganfeng and the others!
Gan Feng wielded his sword with his right hand and his left hand, controlled the horse with his legs, and laughed loudly as blood and flesh flew everywhere. Suddenly, everything in front of him was empty, and the Xiliang cavalry array was completely killed in the blink of an eye!
The Xiliang cavalry at both ends, when Gan Feng broke through the formation, had already spread out their ranks in the process of turning around, and surrounded them on the left and right wings. When they saw Gan Feng breaking through, they took out their bows one after another, mounted their bows and arrows, and headed towards
With the sweet wind, arrows rain down from here!
Shoot.
This term, which seems to be very awesome in later generations, seems to be a quite amazing skill in many games, but if we really talk about the lethality, it is actually nothing more than that.
Because during the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of them were pedaling on one side, or pedaling with leather ropes, and there were no high-bridge saddles. Therefore, the cavalry used bows and arrows on horseback. Except for those generals with extraordinary talents and acquired training, they had superior martial arts.
For characters, most of the cavalry bows of the miscellaneous soldiers are small-sized, which are worse than the bows and arrows of the infantry. Basically, they only have 50% or 60% of the power of the infantry archers.
In addition, the horses are constantly galloping, ups and downs, and it is difficult for someone who is not an extremely proficient master to achieve a balanced posture to shoot arrows. Therefore, when these Xiliang cavalry arrows are splashed in, it is more of a coverage strike.
, it is enough for a fixed infantry battle formation. Anyway, if you miss the person in the middle of the infantry battle formation, you might as well go to the side instead, and then you win...
A wave of arrows came, and the Flying Bear Army, including Gan Feng, were all veterans of cavalry warfare. They did not panic at all. Some used their swords to strike, while others raised the small cavalry bucklers tied to their left arms.
, while lowering his body, he blocked and deflected arrows that might endanger himself and his horse, appearing to be so effortless.
The arrows rained down, and most of them landed in unknown places. Few of them hit the target, or they hit the cavalry shield and were slightly immersed in it. Or they landed on the helmet, causing a few sparks to fly away. Gan Feng carried these with him.
Although the Flying Bear Army is not an armored cavalry, before charging into the battle, the horses are covered with Gebu horse clothes. Although it will increase some weight, the thick Gebu horse clothes can also give the war horses some protection during the galloping.
, even if an arrow penetrates the thick grass cloth, it only penetrates the flesh lightly, but instead arouses the fierceness of the war horse, and it neighs and accelerates with its hooves!
In addition, Gan Feng and others were running forward again, and many of the arrows shot from the side and rear were either unable to fall when they reached the end, or lost most of their kinetic energy. The lethality was indeed not strong, which resulted in
At this moment, although the Xiliang cavalry rained arrows, they did not have much direct killing effect.
If you look from the air at this time, you can see Gan Feng and his small group of men running wildly at the front, and the penetrated Xiliang cavalry array is like a pair of giant open hands, grabbing Gan Feng.
"Xiangdong! Xiangdong!" Ganfeng waved his horse and pointed eastward.
Gan Feng and others are not much more familiar with the terrain in Longxi than the Xiliang cavalry. Not to mention other things, Gan Feng knows two or three mountains and valleys that can be used to hide troops.
, and Jia Xu and most of the other cavalrymen who conquered the west were at one of these locations.
Gan Feng couldn't just go in the direction of Jia Xu's troops. Although the hiding place of Jia Xu's troops was pretty good, it still took time for the army to expand. Therefore, when he was approaching the hiding place, Gan Feng had to
Risking the turn, it also led the Xiliang cavalry to change direction at the same time...
"Come on, come on! Follow Crazy Grandpa here!" Gan Feng shouted, not noticing the approaching Xiliang cavalry troops outflanking them on the right wing.
These stupid roe deer are still using bows and arrows?
Although Gan Feng and others turned around, which meant that the distance between Gan Feng and others and the right wing of the Xiliang cavalry was shortened, and the strength of the bows and arrows was relatively more threatening, but after all, the Flying Bear Army was in fierce battles again and again.
How can those who fight in the formation be afraid of the arrows shot by the Qiang people among the Xiliang cavalry, not to mention that some of these arrows are bone arrows...
In comparison, those Xiliang men with knives and guns are really the biggest threat to Gan Feng and others. When the two sides are about to hand over the battle, is it better to have the swords and guns in their hands already, or to put away the cavalry temporarily?
Is it better to take out the bow and then take out the sword and gun?
The horses are extremely fast. Most of the cavalrymen just have time to make a move when they pass by. If they are half a minute slower, it may mean the difference between life and death!
Gan Feng roared, waving his horse spear and sword, and finally collided with the right wing of the Xiliang cavalry chasing them!
At this moment, outside the mountains and forests in the distance, Jia Xu waved his arms. Beside him, groups of Zhengxi cavalry finally ran out of hiding and joined the rolling battle for Longxi!
