On the vast plain, the Yan Army Camp stands there impressively, as if it is a hill protruding from the ground. It gives people the feeling of "looking at the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains at a glance". The gate of the Yan Army Camp is tightly closed.
It was closed, and soldiers were patrolling back and forth around the camp. The lights in the camp were no longer so bright. It was late at night, and it looked solemn and solemn.
A soldier was still holding on to his post, pacing on the high platform of the camp, looking into the distance from time to time. The ugly moment was over, and it was time for the soldier to change his shift. I saw him tidying up his uniform, and looking into the distance.
He went down the ladder to the ground and exchanged with the soldiers who were changing shifts. The soldier went down, and another soldier climbed up. He was very energetic and not at all as tired as the soldier just now.
The new soldier who came to the high platform also adjusted his uniform, but unlike the soldier just now, he cheered up.
The soldier stood on the high platform, his eyes kept turning, looking into the distance. At this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the whole world was shrouded in night. Except for a little light around the camp, it was still darkness.
The soldier held the golden gong tightly with his left hand, and kept playing with the gong hammer in his right hand, always ready to strike the golden gong. Once an enemy appeared, his first reaction was not to shout, but to strike the gong.
Golden gong to convey messages around the camp.
He was wearing a layer of iron armor and kept pacing on the arrow tower, sometimes relaxed and sometimes nervous.
About a short time later, a sharp arrow suddenly shot from the darkness and penetrated his armor directly. He let out a scream and lay motionless on the arrow tower.
At the same time, the soldiers on the archery towers scattered around the camp were shot down by sharp arrows almost at the same time. More than a hundred men in black emerged from the darkness and continued to draw their bows and arrows to shoot at the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp.
.
After a slight clanking sound of metal, all the soldiers guarding the gate of the village were shot down. The whole process was smooth and smooth, without any sloppiness.
After that, more than a hundred men in black entered the camp directly, opened the camp gate first, removed the horses, antlers and other obstacles that hindered the cavalry's progress around the camp gate, and held torches to signal in the distance.
In the distance, Ma Chao saw this scene and hurriedly said to Wang Shuang, Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng behind him: "Start the attack and rush straight to the Chinese army's tent. We must kill Gao Fei!"
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao took the lead, holding the Earth Fire Xuanlu Spear, leading Wang Shuang, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng and the 17,000 Xiliang cavalry behind him and rushed over like a wave.
The more than a hundred men in black who were the first to rush into the camp withdrew all of them from the camp, as if they could sense the destructive power brought by the Xiliang cavalry, fearing that it would affect themselves.
The gate of the camp was wide open, and the soldiers guarding the camp fell to the ground. The fast-moving cavalry rushed into the camp, holding their weapons high and shouting loudly.
A strange thing happened. The ground shaking caused by the galloping horses was like an earthquake. In addition, the loud shouts of the Xiliang cavalry had spread throughout the wilderness. Even the deadest sleepers could be awakened. However,
, the camp was quiet, not a single soldier came out of the camp, and even the soldiers stationed inside the camp stood motionless.
After reaching half the distance, Ma Chao noticed something unusual and hurriedly reined in the horse and ordered at the same time: "The whole army stops advancing!"
The sudden order surprised the cavalry who were running rapidly. They were not able to relax and stop immediately. Some people did not have time to control the speed of their horses and directly ran into the stopped horses in front of them.
The cavalry, with a "boom" sound, a large number of people inside the Xiliang cavalry suddenly turned on their backs.
Horses neighed, people shouted, and curses also sounded. The soldiers who bumped and the soldiers who were bumped began to blame each other. Even the horses under the seats were rude to each other, their eyes were full of anger,
It's like scolding the other person for why you hit my butt with your head.
For a time, there was a large group of cavalry in the middle in chaos.
In just this moment, the noisy sound quickly reached Ma Chao's ears, and he roared: "What's the fuss about?"
After an angry shout, the soldiers began to shut their mouths, and even the sitting horses no longer hated each other.
Ma Chao looked around, then rode his horse, raised his gun, and stabbed a soldier wearing a Yan Army uniform who was standing guard not far away.
The tip of the spear directly penetrated the soldier's heart, but what surprised Ma Chao was that it didn't feel the way he wanted. After taking a closer look, he realized that what he stabbed was actually a scarecrow!
As soon as he saw the scarecrow, Ma Chao's heart felt like it was set on fire. He suddenly became anxious and suddenly thought of the day when his ghost cavalry was burned to death in the woods by Cao Cao.
"Ma Chao!" A huge roar came from the front like a wake-up call.
In front of the Chinese army's tent, a large flag with the Chinese character "Yan" fluttered in the wind. Under the flag, Gao Fei appeared in the night riding a snow horse on dark clouds, holding a dragon spear, a black gold helmet on his head, and wearing a chain of dragon scale armor.
Reflecting the dim firelight around him, the shadow stretched for a long time. In this situation, he seemed to be a revered god.
Ma Chao looked over and saw Gao Fei standing there motionless. He checked it carefully and exclaimed: "Gao Fei?"
"You succeeded in a sneak attack last time, and you're here again this time. It seems you're addicted. Your tricks have become old-fashioned, and it's my turn now."
As soon as Gao Fei finished speaking, he raised the Dragon Spear in his hand high, and suddenly many soldiers holding torches appeared in the camp. Rows of heavy infantry holding giant shields blocked the front, forming a steel wall.
, behind the shield soldiers were soldiers holding repeating crossbows, and behind them were soldiers with their bows and arrows fully drawn, forming a semi-surrounding force on Ma Chao.
"Whoa!" Gao Fei waved the Dragon Spear downwards, and the crossbowmen fired the arrows in their hands together. Thousands of arrows were fired in unison. It was hard to tell how many arrows there were in the dark night, and they were directed towards Ma Chao.
Wait for the Xiliang soldiers to shoot over.
They were highly skilled in martial arts and could use weapons to block, but those cavalrymen who were still prepared fell off their horses one after another. Some even died there, including both men and horses, dead on the spot.
"Wow……"
At the same time, dozens of screams from Xiliang soldiers were heard from the gate of the village. The Yan soldiers who had fallen to the ground guarding the camp stood up without knowing what was going on. The soldiers on the archery tower began to shoot arrows.
The pikemen on both sides began to assassinate the horses of the Xiliang soldiers, which frightened the horses. In panic, they began to stir.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! We have fallen into a trap!" After Ma Chao deflected the first wave of arrows, he realized what he was doing and shouted hurriedly.
"Kill--"
In the grass outside the camp, fire suddenly appeared. On the left, three generals, Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, and Zhang Liao, rushed over with their cavalry. On the right, three generals, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and Pang De, also came over with their cavalry. The two groups of cavalry attacked together.
Xiliang cavalry who have not yet fully entered the camp.
There were enemies at the front and rear. Ma Chao rushed to one side in a panic on his sweaty horse, followed closely by Wang Shuang with more than a thousand ghost troops behind him.
The arrow formation in front was powerful, and the cavalry behind was powerful. The sudden appearance of the Yan army made the Xiliang soldiers feel anxious. They wanted to charge but could not, and if they wanted to stay, they would probably die.
Gao Fei saw Ma Chao leading Wang Shuang and a small force towards one side of the camp and avoiding the arrow array in front. He was afraid that Ma Chao would escape, so he rode his horse and raised his gun, taking Wen Pin, Lu Heng and Wu Liden with him.
, Tadun and eight hundred cavalry began to pursue, and shouted loudly: "Don't leave Ma Chao!"
Ma Chao quickly ran to the edge of the camp. His eyes were like a torch and he saw this gap. There was no Yan army soldier guarding it, and the soldiers who appeared outside the camp were only focused on killing the Xiliang soldiers left outside the camp and ignored it.
Got him.
He looked back at the soldiers fighting in the melee, as well as Gao Fei and others who were chasing after him. He regretted once again, his intestines turned green, for not listening to Suo Xu's advice.
However, now that things have come to this, all he can do is try his best to break out of the encirclement.
"Crash into it and break this damn fence!" Ma Chao looked at the strong camp fence and regretted why he didn't burn down the camp just now. Maybe all those who died in the camp would be in hiding.
The Yan army is gone.
"Boom!" The ghost cavalry under his command never resisted, but obeyed. As soon as they heard Ma Chao's order, they rushed forward, and Wang Shuang also waved his sword and began to chop the fence.
Before the fence was destroyed, Gao Fei and his cavalry were chasing after them. When they were about fifty meters away, Gao Fei and others took out their repeating crossbows and faced each other on horseback.
Ma Chao's group started shooting.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Arrows rained like rain, and immediately a group of cavalry fell to the ground and fell from their horses, but the cavalry at the front was still rushing against the fence.
Although this kind of continuous-fire crossbow machine has a short range, its firing rate is extremely fast and its accuracy is high. In a short period of time, the arrows in the quiver equipped on the crossbow machine have been used up.
However, the Yan army did not retreat. Instead, they took out the steel knives from their waists. The bright blades looked so cold at night.
"kill--"
Gao Fei took the lead and rushed into the ghost cavalry camp with his dragon spear. The soldiers who had just taken out their spears from behind were chopped down by the Yan Army cavalry before they could throw them out.
The flesh and blood were bruised by the trampling of war horses.
Ma Chao was near the fence, looking at Gao Fei who was rushing toward him, with blood pouring out wherever he went, he frowned and said: "I didn't expect his marksmanship to be so exquisite..."
"Your Highness, I'm here to save you!" It was too late to say, but soon enough, Suo Xu suddenly appeared outside the fence with three thousand cavalry. When he ran to the edge of the fence, he hurriedly tied the fence with a rope, and then
He rode his horse back sharply.
People outside pulled outward, people inside pushed outward, and soon the fence was completed through concerted efforts.
As soon as the fence fell down, Ma Chao hurriedly rode away. Wang Shuang and others did not dare to stay for a long time and retreated one after another. They didn't care about anything and it was urgent to escape.
