"Don't fight with me!" Geng Yan glared at Ma Wu and shouted in a deep voice.
"I'll go!" Ma Wu's tone and attitude were still unacceptable.
The enemy was facing the enemy and time was running out. At this moment, Ma Wu became stubborn and argued with him again. Geng Yan was anxious and angry and asked: "Zizhang, do you know what it means to stop the enemy?"
"Sacrifice yourself and give the chance of survival to your brothers!" Ma Wu said word by word.
Geng Yan glanced at Ma Wu. After a while, his expression softened and he said meaningfully: "Zizhang, I decided the retreat route. Now that there is a danger, it is naturally up to me to solve it!"
Ma Wu said without giving an inch: "You are still good at leading troops in battles, but you are not as good as me at charging into battle, so I will go!"
"Zizhang!"
"I go!"
Ma Wu stared with big eyes, said nothing, turned around and walked towards his horse, then he jumped on the horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers of cavalry, follow me to meet the enemy!"
He shouted, and the surrounding cavalry gathered one after another. Ma Wu turned back to look at Geng Yan and Wang Ba, and said: "Take the brothers and cross the Duanwu Valley quickly. I don't know how long I can resist the enemy!"
After speaking, he looked around at the cavalry, took off the nine-eared eight-ring sword from the victory hook of the war horse, and shouted: "Thirty thousand brothers, life or death depends on us! If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you can stay now.
Anyone who is willing to risk their lives with me should follow me!"
"Roar——" No one of the cavalry present was timid or flinched, they all shouted.
Seeing this, Ma Wu said nothing and took the lead and rushed to the rear. More than two thousand cavalry followed Ma Wu and galloped one after another.
Watching Ma Wu leading the cavalry away, Wang Ba swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said, "Ominous! This is really an ominous sign!"
Geng Yan looked at Wang Ba strangely and asked, "Uncle Yuan, what are you talking about?"
Wang Ba asked seriously: "Bo Zhao, what is this place called?"
"Duanwu Valley!"
"What's Zizhang's name?"
Nonsense! Ma Wu! Before Geng Yan could answer, Wang Ba shook his head and said: "Duanwu Valley, Duanwu Valley, this is going to cut off Ma Wu's life!"
After Geng Yan heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. It's already this time, and you still have the heart to say sarcastic words! But then he thought about it, and his expression became solemn again. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Ma Wu and others who were leaving.
people.
Let's talk about Ma Wu. He led two thousand cavalry and returned the same way to stop the enemy's pursuit.
Ma Wu and others had only run about ten miles, when they saw lanterns, torches, and pitch pine in front of them. The flames were so bright that they could not see the edge at a glance.
A school officer urged his horse to Ma Wu's side and said: "General, the enemy's army should be less than three miles away from us. As for the enemy's strength, it should be about 20,000."
Ma Wu squinted his eyes, looked at the people on the left and right, and said: "Brothers, prepare to follow me to attack the enemy formation!"
After hearing Ma Wu's words, the cavalrymen put away their spears one after another, broke the crossbow machine, and knocked the crossbow arrows into the crossbow machine.
Seeing that the soldiers under his command were all ready, Ma Wu waved his hand forward, holding the nine-eared eight-ring sword, and marched forward slowly. More than two thousand riders formed a horizontal row behind him, following Ma Wu's speed.
, urging the horse to move slowly.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, so close that you can hear the shouts from the opposite camp from time to time.
Ma Wu took a deep breath. He held the big knife in one hand and the reins in the other. Suddenly, he knocked his legs on the horse's belly, pointed the big knife forward at the same time, and shouted: "Charge——"
Following his order, more than two thousand cavalry led by Ma Wu rushed towards the enemy camp on the opposite side.
Ma Wu had 2,000 cavalry on his side, and 20,000 enemy troops on the opposite side. Even if the cavalry had a huge advantage against the infantry, the difference in strength between 2,000 and 20,000 was indeed too great.
According to a normal confrontation between the two armies, a head-on confrontation with 2,000 cavalry attacking 20,000 infantry is a suicidal charge.
However, Ma Wu was not an ordinary general. When he first rebelled, he led cavalry. Leading cavalry in battle was Ma Wu's specialty.
When the distance between the two sides was about to reach a hundred steps, the enemy troops on the opposite side had stopped advancing. Ma Wu raised the sword in his hand high and shouted loudly: "Two dragons coming out of the water formation!"
Following his shouts, the cavalry began to change their formations, charging forward side by side from a line into two long formations. This was to minimize the attack surface of one's own side and prevent the infantry arrow formation from being able to use its full potential.
Maximum effectiveness.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps away, a buzzing sound was heard from the opposite side, and a large array of arrows rose into the sky, almost blending into the dark sky.
The cavalry soldiers could not see the arrow array, but could only hear the harsh whistling sound of the arrow array coming from far to near.
Snap, snap, snap——
The arrow array was smashed down, and a layer of black grass quickly grew on the ground. The cavalry who could not escape were smashed under the arrow array, including men and horses, and turned into hedgehogs on the spot.
Ma Wu, who was rushing at the front, swung his nine-eared eight-ringed sword to block the arrows, causing a series of clanking sounds all around him.
After the first round of arrow formation, the cavalry was less than 80 steps away from Kui Xiao's military formation. The second round of arrow formation soared into the air, with a harsh sound of breaking wind, falling from the air, and with a snap, a layer of arrows quickly grew on the ground.
Black grass, the screams of cavalry who were hit by arrows, and the neighing of horses who were hit by arrows, one after another.
Ma Wu waved the sword in his hand again and shouted: "Return to formation!"
Under his command, the Han cavalry's two-dragon water formation instantly transformed back into a long snake formation.
The third round of arrow formation by the Wei Xiao army and the first round of crossbow arrow formation by the Han cavalry shot at each other almost at the same time. At this time, almost all the cavalrymen lay prone on their horses, increasing their horse speed to the extreme.
People can clearly hear the whistling sound above their heads, and can even feel some arrows rubbing against their helmets.
In this round of arrow formation, the cavalry casualties were smaller than in the previous two rounds. First, the cavalry suddenly changed their formation, and second, the cavalry suddenly increased their speed, causing them to rush out of the arrow formation before the arrow formation fell.
scope.
The third round of arrow formation by the Kaixiao army did not show its power, but the first round of crossbow fire by the cavalry caused a long row of people to fall down from the opposite side of the Kaixiao army.
The Han cavalry only fired this round of crossbow arrows, and had no time to reload the arrows. After firing the second round, people hung up their crossbows, took out their sweat towels, blindfolded their horses, and charged into the enemy's formation forcibly.
A few dozen steps away, for the cavalry galloping at full speed, it was a blink of an eye. Boom! With the deafening sound of horse hooves, the Han cavalry rushed to the front of the camp of Kaixiao's army.
The front row of Wei Xiao's army consisted of soldiers with heavy shields, forming a copper wall with heavy shields. The blindfolded war horses could not see any obstacles in front of them, but they still charged forward at full speed.
Boom, boom, boom, boom——
The horses of the front row cavalry did not slow down at all, and slammed into the shield array at full speed.
The impact was so great that many of the soldiers behind the shields were blown up and fell into the crowd behind them, including their shields.
Some war horses fell to the ground due to the force of the counter-shock. However, due to inertia, the fallen war horses continued to roll forward, crushing a large number of Kaixiao soldiers in front of them.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, a row of Han cavalry fell down, and the shield formation of the front row of Kai Xiao's army on the opposite side was riddled with holes and shattered.
Ma Wu, one of the Han cavalrymen, took the lead, wielding a nine-eared eight-ring sword, and rushed into the enemy camp. His long sword swept past, and the enemy soldiers on the right were cut down in a row by the blade. Immediately afterwards, he slashed his sword to the left.
With a wave of his hand, another row of enemy troops was struck.
There was a roar from the front, and a school captain urged his horse to come. When he got close to Ma Wu, he slashed his sword across his neck.
Ma Wu leaned back, and the blade of the sword passed above the tip of his nose. As soon as the sword swept over, Ma Wu sat up straight and slashed backwards with his saber.
Click! The nine-eared eight-ring knife slashed at the opponent's neck, and his head fell to the ground. The war horse ran away carrying the headless body.
Ma Wu showed no intention of slowing down, and continued to urge his horse forward to kill. Taking advantage of the inertia of the horse, he stabbed forward with his sword.
Poof! An enemy soldier bore the brunt of the attack and was stabbed through the chest by a sword. Ma Wu shouted loudly on his horse and flew the enemy soldier away, knocking down a group of soldiers behind him.
He continued to urge his horse forward, trampling on several enemy soldiers, causing screams under the horses' hooves.
Ma Wu wielded the sword with one hand and slashed left and right. With a series of crisp sounds, several more enemy soldiers were chopped to the ground on both sides of his horse.
In terms of his superb martial arts skills and his bravery in charging into battle, Ma Wu is definitely a well-known figure. Not to mention that he was among the famous generals at that time, even in the entire Chinese history, Ma Wu was a famous general.
Ma Wu can be called the God of Martial Plague, and he and Yao Qi can be worshiped as door gods by later generations. This is not just a wasted reputation, they really have real abilities.
At this time, Ma Wu only led 2,000 cavalry and charged into the enemy's battle formation of 20,000 people. He showed no fear at all. Instead, he became more and more courageous as he fought, charging into the enemy's army as if he were in an uninhabited land.
This nine-eared and eight-ringed sword flies up and down, and shoots the bow left and right. The enemy troops around it will die if they stick to it, and they will die if they touch it.
Ma Wu used his own strength to cut a bloody path through the enemy's army, penetrated the enemy's front army, and fought all the way to the middle army. The leader of the team was named Yang Yi, who was Yang Guang's younger brother. He was skilled in martial arts.
Not bad either.
But when he saw Ma Wu, who was covered in blood and charging out of the front army as if possessed by the god of death, he was so frightened that he turned his horse and ran towards the rear army, shouting at the same time: "Kill him! Kill him quickly!"
he!"
Several captains around Yang Yi went straight to Ma Wu. Ma Wu shouted loudly and slashed with his sword. The captain who bore the brunt of the attack parried with his sword, clang, click. The moment he blocked the nine-ear eight-ring sword, he felt something
He couldn't bear the overwhelming force, and the long knife was knocked down. The nine-eared eight-ringed knife continued unabated and chopped off half of his head.
Killing an enemy with one sword, Ma Wu lowered his body forward, and a spear pierced his head. He didn't even stand up, and stabbed the tail of the sword out first.
Snap, the tail of his knife hit the chest of another captain. The man grunted, flew backwards from his horse, fell to the ground with a thud, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Mawuti immediately stepped forward, raised his knife and cut off another human head. The remaining three captains were shocked. How could this enemy general be so awesome?
Just when they were stunned for a moment, the red-eyed Ma Wu came straight towards them with his sword, and the nine-eared eight-ringed sword drew a long electric light in the night.
One of the captains didn't even see clearly the trajectory of the nine-eared eight-ringed sword, half of his head had been split open diagonally by the blade.
A captain next to him instinctively stabbed Ma Wu in the chest with his halberd. Ma Wu turned to the side to get out of the way of the edge. Without waiting for the opponent to withdraw his halberd, he grabbed the halberd to the side with his big hand, and with a bang, he locked the halberd pole.
hold.
At the same time, he stabbed forward with the knife in his other hand. Poof, the blade pierced the opponent's face. The tip of the knife protruded from the back of his head, and his helmet was knocked far away.
In the end, the captain was so frightened that he dared to step forward, turned his horse's head and ran away.
Ma Wu snatched the halberd from the corpse's hand, pointed it at the fleeing captain, and threw the flying halberd.
Snap, the flying halberd was spinning in the air, hitting the opponent's head squarely on the back of the head. In one blow, the captain's helmet was flattened, and scarlet blood flowed out along the deformed helmet.
None of the five captains could survive a round in front of Ma Wu. He attacked them one by one and killed them all on the spot.
This situation frightened the officers and soldiers of the Kaixiao Army who were present. People involuntarily backed away, fearing that Ma Wu would rush towards them.
