As soon as the two sides met, the vicious man chopped off Fu Chen's head with a knife. Yi Zhen, Xie Sheng, and Li Ying, who were watching from behind, saw clearly that their expressions suddenly changed, and they exclaimed in unison: "It's the rebels! It's the rebels!"
The rebels are attacking!"
Xie Sheng and Li Ying also wanted to command their county soldiers to rearrange their troops to resist the incoming cavalry, but it was too late.
The speed of the cavalry was too fast, giving them no chance to re-arrange their formation. Especially the ferocious man at the head took the lead and charged into the ranks of the officers and soldiers.
He urged his horse forward and rushed forward. Wherever he passed, a long mist of blood rose up. The officers and soldiers around him either had their heads cut off or were chopped in half.
The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they ducked to both sides. They gave way to the ferocious man, but they could not get out of the way of the cavalry who followed up and launched a cavalry charge.
When the cavalrymen rushed into the crowd with spears in their hands, the spears in their hands were stabbed out by the impact of the horses. The soldiers in front were as if they were made of paper, and were directly penetrated through the chest, and even their bodies were injured.
It flew out upside down.
After the spear pierced the enemy's body, the cavalry did not slow down and draw the spear. Instead, they directly abandoned the spear, drew out the ring-headed sword from under their ribs, and continued to urge the horse forward while slashing the surrounding enemy soldiers with the sword.
A large number of soldiers fell to the spears and blades of the cavalry, but the number of soldiers who were hit and trampled to death by war horses was even greater.
On the battlefield, a large number of cavalry were seen galloping over. The scene was like an overwhelming force, and it was simply beyond the power of human power to contend with.
Xie Sheng's face was covered with cold sweat, and he turned his head and shouted: "The cavalry meets the enemy! The cavalry quickly follows me to meet the enemy!"
After a day and night of siege, Xie Sheng's two hundred cavalrymen had only a few dozen left. In front of a cavalry group of thousands, their few dozen cavalry were like a drop in the ocean.
However, after Xie Sheng's order was conveyed, no one among the dozens of county cavalry flinched. People all urged their horses and followed Xie Sheng to charge towards the incoming cavalry team.
Before they could reach the cavalry, a horse rushed out from the cavalry. This man was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, a white cloak on his back, a white horse at his crotch, and he was holding an iron-pointed steel gun.
When Xie Sheng saw an enemy general fighting, he subconsciously shouted: "Everyone who comes is known by name!"
"Zhu Tiandu Department, Yao Qi!" As he spoke, the man in white robes came into contact with Xie Sheng. The weapon Xie Sheng used on the horse was a long halberd. He took out the halberd first and struck Yao Qi's chest.
The latter swung the point-steel spear outwards, and the halberd was blocked. Xie Sheng had no time to withdraw the halberd, and Yaoqi's subsequent shots stabbed Xie Sheng directly in the chest.
puff!
The black horse under Xie Sheng's crotch ran over, and Xie Sheng himself was stabbed by Yao Qi's gun and flew backwards. He fell to the ground with a thud, and raised his head with a "wow" sound.
He spurted out blood and then lay motionless on the ground.
Dozens of cavalrymen who were following Xie Sheng in the battle saw this, and their livers and gallbladders burst into tears. People roared and ran towards Yaoqi. Yaoqi did not retreat but advanced to face his opponent. The iron-pointed steel gun in his hand pulled out three dazzling flowers in the air.
With the gunfire, the three county cavalrymen who rushed towards him screamed and fell off their horses.
Yao Qi's marksmanship can be regarded as top-notch, without any feints or tricks, just one word, fast.
When fighting against him, she clearly saw him stabbing her with a spear, but she couldn't dodge or resist. She could only watch the steel spear pierce into her body.
Fu Chen and Xie Sheng were killed one after another, frightening Yi Zhen, Li Ying and the soldiers below to the point where the hairs on their bodies stood up. Li Ying turned pale and shouted loudly at his soldiers: "Retreat! Shandu County soldiers,
Listen to my order and all retreat——"
While he was shouting, a big man covered in blood rushed out from among the county soldiers and went straight to Li Ying. Li Ying took a closer look and saw that the enemy general who rushed towards him was the one who had slashed Fu Chen with his sword.
A ferocious big man. He grinned secretly. Wherever he dared to fight, he would turn his horse and run away.
Li Ying's riding skills can't be said to be very good, but his mount is really a BMW. This horse is completely black and has a strong body. Standing next to an ordinary war horse, it is a bit taller and surprisingly strong.
Even the horse's legs are much thicker than those of ordinary war horses. This horse is famous for its name, Wu Zui!
The ferocious man was Ma Wu. Ma Wu was a warrior on horseback, and his riding skills were absolutely top-notch. The bay-red horse under his crotch was also considered a good horse, but Ma Wu couldn't catch up despite all his strength.
Going up to Li Ying, the distance between the two of them becomes wider and wider.
"Damn it!" Ma Wu yelled angrily, and slapped the horse's buttocks with the blade of the nine-eared eight-ring knife. The red horse suffered pain, and even though his speed was at its maximum, he still couldn't close the distance between the two.
.
Just when Li Ying thought he was about to get rid of Ma Wu, suddenly, an arrow quickly fell from the sky and hit Li Ying squarely in the lower back.
puff!
"Ah -" Li Ying, who was riding on the horse, screamed, tilted his body outward, and rolled directly off Wu Zhui's horse.
Ma Wu's eyes suddenly lit up and he urged his horse to rush over. He didn't even care about Li Ying, who had an arrow falling from his horse. Instead, he rushed straight towards the Wu Zhai horse that had lost its master.
On the battlefield, the life of a war horse is more valuable than a human life, and a famous horse like Wu Zui is even more valuable.
Ma Wu kept slapping the bay-red horse on his crotch, and gradually caught up with Wu Zui. He reached out and grabbed Wu Zui's reins. In this way, the bay-red horse and the Wu Zui horse were galloping side by side.
Let's talk about Li Ying who was hit by an arrow. He lay on the ground and was disgraced. After a long while, he slowly lifted up from the ground with a groan. He wanted to stand up, but another arrow flew down from the air.
The arrow hit the back of his neck, and with a pop, Li Ying shook his body and fell back to the ground, never moving again.
At this time, Liu Xiu and others who were holding the city had already fought back from the city. They cooperated with the cavalry led by Ma Wu and Yao Qi to kill the officers and soldiers gathered in front of the city. The two arrows shot at Li Ying were exactly
From Fu Jun.
Liu Xiu and others fought their way out of the city, posing little threat to the officers and soldiers. After all, their number was too small. It was this cavalry of more than a thousand people that really dealt the fatal blow to the officers and soldiers.
The cavalry charged from the rear of the formation to the front of the formation. In this single charge, hundreds of officers and soldiers fell. The cavalry at the front of the formation turned their horses and fought back from the front of the formation.
The tail of the array.
Under the repeated charge of the cavalry, the camp of the officers and soldiers was already in pieces, without any formation at all, just like a piece of scattered sand. At this time, the officers and soldiers really could not resist, and the people were not interested in fighting and fled in all directions.
Upon seeing this, the cavalry immediately dispersed and chased the fleeing officers and soldiers separately. While chasing the enemy, the cavalry took off the crossbows hanging from their waists, aimed at the fleeing officers and soldiers in front, and launched a volley.
Bang, bang, bang! The sound of crossbow arrows being fired from the crossbow machine was a continuous one. Row after row of officers and soldiers who were desperately fleeing were shot to the ground by the crossbow arrows. Some of the officers and soldiers who were not killed by the arrows were wailing on the ground, begging for mercy: "surrender"
!I surrender..."
No one listened to their pleas, the cavalry charged, and no one would deliberately change the direction of travel to avoid the living enemies on the ground.
The war horses trampled over the living and dead officers and soldiers, and the wailing sounds were instantly drowned out by the thunderous sound of horse hooves.
Now the two sides are no longer at war, it is completely a one-sided massacre.
Under the arrows of the cavalry's crossbows, the defeated officers and soldiers were annihilated in groups. After a battle, of the three thousand officers and soldiers, few actually escaped from the tiger's mouth. Most of them were annihilated by the cavalry in Chaoyang City.
outside.
As the battle ended, Liu Xiu and others standing in front of the city gate were all panting from exhaustion. They looked around, and everywhere they looked, there were corpses of officers and soldiers.
At this time, Ma Wu and Yao Qi came running quickly. They were far away, and they saw Liu Xiu.
The two of them came to Liu Xiu, dismounted their horses, knelt down on one knee, stepped in to salute, and said in unison: "My subordinate Ma Wu (Cao Qi), please see my lord!"
Ma Wu, Yao Qi? Hearing their names, Zang Gong was shocked. Aren't they two from the Green Forest Army of Yizhou? When did they become Liu Xiu's subordinates?
When Liu Yan started the uprising in Chongling, he had already sent people to Yizhou to send a message to Ma Wu and Yaoqi, asking them to lead their troops to Nanyang immediately, but he never received a reply from them.
Liu Xiu thought that his troops sent to Yizhou failed to find Ma Wu and Yao Qi's troops. Unexpectedly, when they were trapped in Chaoyang, Ma Wu and Yao Qi led their troops to fall from the sky with lightning speed.
, defeated three thousand officers and soldiers in one fell swoop.
Seeing the two people saluting him, Liu Xiu was overjoyed. He stepped forward, helped Ma Wu and Yao Qi up with one hand and said with emotion: "Zizhang, secondly, you two made me wait well."
It’s bitter!”
Looking at Liu Xiu, he was covered in blood, and his original appearance could hardly be seen. The clothes on his body were also in tatters. One arm was still wrapped in a bandage, but the color of the bandage could no longer be seen. It was all dyed.
dark brown.
Ma Wu and Yao Qi felt sad. They both knelt down again, cupped their hands and said, "My subordinates are late in rescuing me. Please forgive me, my lord!"
Liu Xiu was happy. He pulled their arms, but failed to pull them up. Now he really had no strength. Liu Xiu said with emotion: "It's good if you're here! Get up quickly!"
He repeated it again and again, and Ma Wu and Yao Qi stood up. Liu Xiu asked, "Are you coming from Yizhou?"
Ma Wu and Yao Qi nodded together. In fact, they did not see the messenger sent by Liu Yan to Yizhou, nor did they receive a letter from Liu Yan or Liu Xiu. The reason why they led their troops to Nanyang was because they were in Yizhou.
Can't stay any longer.
Gongsun Shu, the governor of Shu County in Yizhou, launched a secret coup in Yizhou and sent people to secretly assassinate Yizhou Mu. Then Gongsun Shu, without receiving an appointment from the court, called himself Yizhou Mu and established a secret coup in Yizhou.
The state recruits troops, buys horses, and hoards grain, grass, and supplies.
Under the banner of the Green Forest Army, Ma Wu and Yao Qi ran around in Yizhou, especially in the Hanzhong area, and repeatedly defeated the officers and soldiers who came to encircle and suppress them.
Gongsun Shu was very fond of the fighting power of this green forest cavalry. He sent people to find Ma Wu and Yao Qi, and persuaded them to switch to his command.
Gongsun Shu promised that as long as the two of them were willing to lead their troops to defect, they would be rewarded with the title of marquis, a thousand taels of gold, and a thousand hectares of land.
You must know that Gongsun Shu is just a state pastor and is not qualified to be a prince at all. By making such a promise, he has actually shown his ambition to become emperor.
Ma Wu did not save any face for Gongsun Shu and killed the messenger in public. This made Gongsun Shu furious and sent heavy troops to encircle Ma Wu's troops.
In order to avoid Gongsun Shu's encirclement and suppression, Ma Wu's troops entered Jingzhou from Yizhou. After arriving in Jingzhou, they heard that Liu Yan and Liu Xiu brothers had started an uprising in Chongling.
The two men led their troops to the east again, and arrived at the border of Deng County. Mawu and Yaoqi heard that Liu Xiu was in Chaoyang, so they led their troops to the north again, and just happened to catch up with the Chaoyang County soldiers, Shandu County soldiers, and Hecheng Fortress. This scene shows the army joining forces to attack the city.
